Girl, please excuse me…

As I mentioned in my last post, I am lacking in some gym beats.

Luckily, after Lauren reiterated that I should listen to RadioLab (thanks again Jess for introducing me!) I have been listening away as I walk. Today I walked five miles, three of them home from M’s, and the time past so quickly because I was listening to a podcast about stress. Which, by the way, is intriguing — did you know if you are exposed to high levels of stress you will stop growing? Bodies are so cool.

OK enough on that. So Jeff and I sat down tonight after dinner to talk music. Jeff usually has the most recent radio hits mixed in with the gems from the last twenty years, so it was no problem to transfer some of those tunes to my computer, and BAM I have a new 2 hour and 30 minute gym mix, including, but not limited to:

* 10 Days Late – Third Eye Blind
* F*** You – Cee Lo Green
* Raise Your Glass – Pink
* All I Do is Win – DJ Khaled
* Uncharted – Sara Bareilles
* Caught Up – Usher
* Pump It – Black Eyed Peas
* Are You Gonna Be My Girl? – JET
* Get Out Of My Mind – Hootie and the Blowfish
* All or Nothing – Athena Cage

Monday 2 mile run, here I come.
